that`s what i try.. but i will first mockup everything because it looks like
i forgot a few pieces :) like right mouse click (menu pops up) and the
menubar inside a window.

well.. that`s nice but not what i want. i want to make a theme for fedora
with the goal of making it the defualt theme for Fedora 8.

i have no doubt that i can`t finish this theme well before F8 goos final.
i have vacation now for about 2 1/2 month so more than enough play time for
this theme.

and a brainstorm.. would it be cool to have a brushed mac like background in
the menu stuff?
so kinda like the top part of the buddy list in this image:

or would a soft gradient be cool? that`s the top part of the computer window
in the avove link.
